We celebrated our 5th anniversary tonite since Duane will be gone on the "actual" day. My sister Michelle watched the kiddos and we went to "Tokyo Garden" & had sushi, it was soooo good, I think it tasted even better to me since I just came off detox. heh! We came home & Michelle had a plate of cake and cookies as a joke for me. Anyone who knows me knows I am not a "cake/cookie" person, but you stick a bucket of ice cream in front of me and its on...I will eat a ton!!! So yea we had a laugh & drank some champagne & sat around the table and talked. It was a fun nite! Thanks Mich for taking care of our 2 kiddos so we could go out.

Today is my last day of detox, this is the 5th detox I have done in my life and I know they are supposed to be really good to cleanse the body, but I have to say all the claims that they make you feel energized & rejuvenated while doing them I have to say are not true for me, maybe its just me but I feel sluggish, tired, cranky and mostly hungry and dying to bite into something. I know too that having a headache the 1st day usually indicates you have alot of toxins to get rid of and if I only felt crappy one day out of the 5 well then that would be okay, but I have to say I am a much happier person when I get my food!!! I would not do good starving on an island eating only vegetables, fruit, and grass...heh! My rejuvenation comes from snuggling up with a nice cup of Java and some eggs and toast in the morning.....mmmmmm 12 hours to go!

Day 5 of the detox and I am soooooo Hungry, & grumpy, I don't do well with no eating!!! 1 day to go till I can bite into something and eat again, I can't wait....

Since its been so hot here we took the kids to Hanford's newest park that features a "wet play area". The kids were looking forward to going all morning and had a fun time for the first 20 minutes then Trei tried to crawl up the "pink walrus" and lost his grip and banged his chin on it & we had to rush him to the ER to get 5 stitches...Poor thing, he has been through sooo much and he is only 4! Thankfully he is back home and hopefully the stitches will heal up well, we take him back to the pediatrician in 4 days to have the stitches removed...Here are the a few pictures of the fun they had prior to the accident!

The Infamous Walrus...grrrrrr.......

Day at the Beach

We woke up this morning with the bright idea of taking the kids to the Beach up near Paso Robles, so we all piled in the car and made the 2 hour drive. It was 110 all the way there so we were looking forward to cooler weather at the beach, thankfully it was upper 80's and the kids had fun getting buckets of water to make sandcastles and chasing the seaguls. It was a beautiful, fun day!

Sand Castles.

Swim School

The kids graduated today from their 2-week Swim Session, they had a fun time and both of them are kicking pretty well in the water! Thanks Mich for taking them every day!!! Here are some pics I took yesterday since we were able to observe all they learned!

Starting a 5-day detox today cause I know my body needs it, heh! Hope these next few days go by real fast!
